WHY AM I LIVING? PART 2

PART 2  READ PART 1 FIRST FOUND IN THE LEFT COLUMN

By Frank Henrich August 31, 2010 

 For living on Earth is a test, 
  Will you turn your face
Away from your creator
  Declaring yourself a god?

Hell awaits those so inclined,
  But if you obey and trust
God Jesus will save and equip you
  For a joyful ride to Heaven.

In English of 900 AD the word
  Brazen meant the metal brass,
It was shinny like fake gold
  Used to dupe many a buyer.

Today, the word brazen means
  To be harsh and with loud boldness
A person who lives on a brazen road
  Is without mercy to any road block.

Real love is not a part of his life, 
  It is my life and will live it fully,
Don't talk to me about God and love, 
  I live for today and to hell with future.

With all the braodcasting of Jesus 
  And the Christian message,
There are few who could claim 
  No knowlege of the claims of Jesus.

For those who have chosen the brazen, 
  They bristle at the horrid thought
Of a simple salvation of Jesus Christ,
  As only a simpleton would believe.

They have deluted their minds 
  To think they are god-like
In their brillance and thought
  A simple salvation is stupid.

There is a whole world left unknown 
  To their small puffed-up minds, 
They have dismissed the spiritual
  World where God dwells.

So of course they have turned
  Away from the golden road,
You say, well wake them up to a
  Combined spiritual-physical world.

That's the work of the Holy Spirit
  But we can pray for intercession
But remember the test of life on Earth
  Individually we honor or dishonor God.

Oh!, you say, you have faults to corrct. 
  I respond, indeed I do and I pray
God show me my faults needing correction
  Yes, correct them and be pleasing to God.

You say, well I continue to sin
  Following back on God's mercy,
To this I refer you to the parable
  Jesus told about the fig tree.

The orchard man wanted to
  Cut down the fruitless fig tree,
Jesus said to let it live one more year,
  If no fruit, cut it down & burn it.

If the fruit tree is you and me,
  God brings the salvation message
For action now, not to depend on God's mercy,
  The message is God's mercy has a limit.

If you are walking down the brazen road,
  If life is for you a harsh cruel take all world
If those are the things that hold you sway
  If you think your death bypasses hell.

Think again for your fig tree,
  Has been given one more year to live,
For I can not speak for God
  But His mercy may be limited.

God's love will always be with you,
  He promised us all that many times
But He is a just God and you will
  Take you own hide to the market.

When you die it will be too late,
  What more can I say,
It is all in your corner
  Recommend you find the golden road.

Put your hand in the hand
  Of Jesus who paid your way,
Pass thru the pearly gates
  At the end of the golden road.
